THE STATE NORMAL SCHOOL.

The twentieth annual catalogue of
the State Normal school comes to hand,
fresh from the Kansas Publishing
house of Topeka. An examination of
the catalogue shows that there are
fourteen instructors, and the attend
ance during the past year has aggre-
gated 746 pupils, of which 248 are resi-
dents of Lyon county. The county
having the next highest number in at
tendance is Usage, which sent 27pupils
during the past year, and the next in
rank is Sedgwick county, Which sent
16 pupils. Ofthe nativity of the pupils,
1873 of them were born in Kansas; Hi
nois comes next with So, and Ohio is
next in line with 81. Of the occupa-
tion of the parents of the pupils, 291
are farmers, SO merchants and % car
penters. The figures are significant, as
they show that the intelligent genera
ton of the future comes from the farm,
| the workbench and behind the coun-
ter. For further information concern

GENERAL L. l.. ROssER. who is a rep
resenative of Bourbon Democracy in
the South, said Tuesday in Minneapolis
1.-The Democratic party at the North
is not what the South wants. 1t is
made up of the worst elements of the
North. 1t has got all the anarchism,
whiskyism, and other isms. The Rep
ublican party embraces the business
men and the energy of the North,
while our Northern ally is made up OF
copperheads and those who were dis.
loyal. If the Republicans nominate
John Sherman it is my opini on there
viii be some independent voting in the

IT is claimed that the whole rebel
flag episode was political plot set up
on Cleveland. But the facts are that
the subject was formally considered in
a cabinet meeting, ard that the decis-
ion was unanimous in favor of the pro-
posed proceeding. In other words, the
administration deliberately determined
to give the flags back to those from
whom they were captured; and the I'M
dertalIing was abandoned solely be-
cause of the vigorous and indignant
protest of the patriotic people of the
country

THE following kind-hearted and COM
plimentary allusion to the old soldiers
appears in the Atchison Globe, paper
which claims to have the largest circu-
lation in that city:
The G.. 4. r. is not a political organ
ization, of course, but we do not believe
it would have torn its uniform if a re-
publican president had been invited to
the st. Louis encampment, or had is
sued an order returning lot of rebel
flags to the south. 1t is a noticeable
fact that the G. a. r. never found
fault with the administration until it
became democratic. However, it must
be remembered that the members of
the G. a. II. are ageing, and are ac-
cordingly becoming more querrulous.
In time they will become so testy that
even republican administration will
be unable to please them. Politicians
of both parties will breath easier when
the old soldiers, together with the
bloody shirt, are no more.

ABOUT the cheapest feeling individ-
ual on this continent to-day is the DEM
ocratic editor who yesterday rallied to
the defense of the president for the in.
suit to loyalty. 1t was a very mean
democrat who even thought of Offering
any defense.-Topeka Journal.
How much meaner must be the re-
publican, and how much cheaper must
the republican editor feel who was led
astray because "Uncle Billy" took a
sentimental streak. By-the-way, we
have not heard from Sherman since the
flag episode.

This is the present status of the mat
ter to-day, as noreply has been received
to the last communication.
But these democratic editors evil
IDENTIFY fail to see that for an Ohio
regiment-who had fairly captured a
flag in the open and deadly conflict of
the battlefeld-to return it to those
who had calamity but vainly struggled
to retain it, could neither now or here
after ever cause any but the kindliest
feeling. No southern soldier could
ever look on such a banner-properly
labeled-without having a kindlieI
thought for his former antagonists.
On the other hand, for democratic
president, elected by the rebel vote,
and ballot box stufing and intimada-
ton of republicans throughout the
south, by man known to have been
arebel sympathiser during the supreme
struggle for national existence, would
be in the nature of a snatching OF
those trophies of war by force, and
would entail no thanks and no thoughts
of magnanimous conduct on the par
of the victors. To do this would only
increase the hatred on both sides, a!
the union soldiers would necessarily
think that they had been unfairly de
prived of their hard won laurels, whilt
the southerners would feel, and will
good cause, as if they had again wol
a great rebel victory.
The distinction should be strongl,
marked between the lions who cap
tured their prey by fighting for it, ant
; the stay-at-home hyenas who lived OF
the life-blood of those at the front
What would only cause good will ant
pleasure when coming from regimen
of brave men who held their lives il
, their hands when capturing these flags
l would cause only hard feelings ant
hatred when done as piece of politi
cal trickery by a stay-at-home.

OTTAWA should get new postmas-

soon, either. An Ottawa newspa-
per has not arrived in this city by mail
for later date than Saturday last
four days old. We have been regularly
mailing several copies of THE NEWS to
parties ut the assembly since week
ago, and when there on Sunday last as
certained that but one number had ar
rived up to date. The postmaster here
says they are regularly mailed from
this office. Mr.. Sharpe of the Ottawa
Republican says he regularly mails his
paper there, but it fails to arrive here.
1t is said in Ottawa that Postmaster
Bliss expects his head to drop into the
basket daily, and that this accounts for
these irregularities. If so, he should
be removed Immediately.

DURING the war about Ia, 900 union
soldiers were captured About 10000
of them or one out of every six, died in
the southern prison pens. From first
to last nearly 500, 600 rebels were cap
tured or surrendered. No large body
of union troops, no union army or
corps, as whole, were ever captured
or surrendered. The largest number
of union troops ever captured at any
one time was at Harper's Ferry in
1862, the number being about 1900.
This surrender was a blunder and it
stands alone. 1t was worse than blum
der, it was a military crime. Even the
surrender of small garrisons or weak
posts and forts by union troops was
comparatively rare. On the contrary,
the capture and surrender of rebel ar
mics, garrisons, posts aud forts was a
matter of common occurrence. Whole
armies were captured at Fort Donald
son and Vicksburg and elsewhere. 1t
is said the surrender of Vicksburg was,
in the number of men and munitions
of war, the greatest in history. In the
Petersburg Appommatox campaign,
Ewell's corps, numbering 10000 men,
was actually captured in battle in the
open field. The power displayed by
the north during the struggle was un-
paralleled in history. Like Minerva
from the head of Jupiter, grand armies
sprung from the very ground, armed
and equipped, and great navies, more
beautiful than Venus, rose seemingly
out of the sea. From first to last 3
500, 900 men were enrolled in the union
army. More than 800, 900 of them, OF
one out of every ten were killed or died
| of wounds and disease during the war
About $4,000 of them were killed in
battle, and nearly $4,000 died OF
wounds. Almost 200 600 died of dis.
ease. About 800, 900 of our men were
wOunded-one out of every ten. On
account of disability, in round num-
bers, 100000 of our men were dis
charged from the service. Fully $780,
600 of our dead are buried in the ma
tionai cemeteries.

up and enable a person to catch them

seen in the Neosho near town. 1t is

should be inquired into by the officers,
